Details

DUNKESWELL DUNKESWELL ST 10 NW 5/30 Hunters Cottage - GV II Cottage. Mid - late C17, thoroughly modernised circa 1970. Plastered stone rubble, maybe with some cob; stone rubble stacks topped with plastered C20 brick; thatch roof. Plan: 3-room plan cottage built alongside the lane facing east-north-east, say east. The right (south) end has a rear lateral stack and the centre room has an axial stack backing onto the unheated left end room which has now been converted to a garage. 2 storeys with a secondary outshot on the left (north) end. Exterior: irregular 4-window front of C20 casements with glazing bars. The front doorway is left of centre (into the centre room) and it contains a C20 plank door behind contemporary gabled porch. C20 garage doors into the former left end room. The roof is gable-ended. Interior: is largely the result of the circa 1970 modernisation although the original structure appears to be essentially intact. Both fireplaces are blocked. The right room has a roughly-finished crossbeam and the centre room has a chamfered and scroll-stopped crossbeam. The roofspace was not inspected although the bases of straight principals show on the first floor, their scantling large enough to suggest that they are from original A-frame trusses. Hunters Cottage forms part of a group of traditional thatch-roofed buildings in the vicinity of the Church of St Nicholas (q.v).
